------------
Artemis logged out of the game and decided to visit her owner in real life. After getting the staff to agree, she headed over to her owners house on foot since it wasn't that far away. Once they got to Anya’s house, Crystal, who was escorting Artemis, knocked on the door. Since no one was coming. she rang the doorbell. Eventually little Anya opened the door and squealed in excitement as she noticed Artemis, since she hasn't been home in ages.
Anya motioned for Crystal and Artemis to come in, but Crystal refused. She had to get back to work; analyzing all the data they obtained from Artemis’s grey incident.
Anya decided since she can actually talk to Artemis now, she didn't need to worry about her running off, so she and Artemis decided to go for a walk.
While getting strange glances from onlookers, Anya and Artemis chat merrily while walking through the nearby central park. It wasn't until a little girl walked up to Anya and asked if she can pet her cat that things got interesting…
Artemis: “I…don't mind”
Little Girl: “OMG d…..did the kitty just talk?”
Artemis: “Oops…. I forgot cats don't normally talk…. I got so used to talking to people in the lab that i forgot….”
People start to crowd around Anya and Artemis. They all have strange glints in their eyes; some of them you can even see a mad hint of money in their eyes….

Anya: “We have to run! ARTEMIS FOLLOW ME!”
Anya started to run, attempting to break out of the encirclement. They make it to the crosswalk intersection before Anya gets violently grabbed by an older man, who clearly only sees the money and fame that can be made if he had such a cat.
Artemis lunges at the man, jumping high into the air and clawing his eyes .
Artemis: “RUN NOW! I'LL CATCH UP!”
Anya crosses the road. When Artemis attempts to cross as well, seemingly out of nowhere, a big rig truck hits her, sending her flying. Artemis got lucky that it was combustible day, so trash was set out for the trash-men to pick up so she avoided a instant death but she was fatally wounded.
Anya: “ARTEMIS!!!!!!” the clear sound of pain and worry and sorrow in her voice made all those who were following her before feel nothing but shame.
Anya runs up to Artemis and hugs her, even though she isn't a pretty sight at the moment. Her stomach is ripped open blood coming from her mouth and wounds.
Artemis: “S-sorry Freya... seems I can't keep that promise to you since this is real life”
After a short period of time of Anya crying over Artemis, who was clearly bleeding out with no hope of being saved… she had the thought that if they took her to a vet they would put her to sleep. All of a sudden cracks start to appear in the sky near the two, and out comes Freya in all her glory.
Freya: “I heard Artemis calling my name where is she?”
Anya who was frantic at the moment pointed towards the dying cat, and stated “This is Artemis PLEASE HELP HER”
Freya’s demeanor instantly changes into that of a frantic and angry sister as she runs over to Artemis and picks her up not even minding the gore
Enraged Freya asks
Freya: “W͙̣͇̝̦͇̓ͯͫ͑H̙̰͚̅́͊ͣ̆O̗̖̺͕̾͋̈́ ̽͑̊D̹̰̣̗͕͐͋̇̐̌͊̿I͒ͤ̓ͮD̰̠̤͔̮̔̅ͯ͊ͅ ̖̥̗͎̆͗̎ͪ̾T̠̟̯̪̻͍̳͛̓ͫH͓̝ͭ̂̏ͤ̄ͨͧI̭ͦͥ̋̽̋S͎̩̃͌ͣ͆̀̔̉?ͣ͛ͯ͋ͦ “
And on that day a poor Big Rig driver ceased to exist…

Scholar of the Fog
Leaving a trail of blood as he climbed up a hill, his limbs felt like lead. He was gasping too, his lungs burning with every step he took. It felt like a bundle of broken glass was scraping away the inner walls of his flesh. He was dying, obvious to both him and his pursuers. And it would not be long till he dropped dead as he bled away. If not, the people chasing him would surely finished what they had came for. It was as if the Gods themselves had already predestined his fate. He took one step forward and stood at the peak of the hill. He let his legs rest as he could barely go on. Heaving deep breaths, he could hear sneering voices and shouts behind him. They were close, and the grim realization stoked the embers of his most primal fear. He did not want to die. He had dreams, like any other youth. There was glory to be had in this world. He wanted to learn more of life, and lived through its motions. He wanted to live. He swept his gaze, and across him was a spanning forest of old. With a glint in his eyes, and jaws clenched, he decided to gamble with all he had. He was dying, and by now, it did not matter where his grave was. He ran down the hill, and stopped where the plains and the forest met. His eyes swept about the trees, and he could feel an instinctual urge to drag himself away. He knew what this forest was, and here, he would find his salvation. Or his doom. The voices behind him grew closer, and among the noise was the faint clanging of steel. Gritting his teeth, he ousted all the will he had from the depths of his soul and stepped forth into the forest. Damned he be by the Gods if they wanted him dead. -new synopsis 10/6/2016 ---------- A new chapter would be released every friday. And the quality of writing should improve each time, hopefully. Another important thing to mention is how the story as of now, is only a bedrock for a massive world if it ever gets there. (CH18) And if possible, reviews are very much appreciated. ---------- For the ones who are interested in the old synopsis: With one foot in the grave, he ran away for that little bit of hope. Exhausted and bleeding, it was only a matter of time until he passed out. By then, his fate would be sealed and he would be no more. Thus, he had to make a decision that might just save his life. It was a gamble, he knew, but he had no He ran into the forbidden forest where no man had ever come back. He headed within, intending to scare his pursuers away. But they persisted in their chase, hounding him down until he was forced to take a step of no return. There, in the darkest depths of the forest, was the ghastly fog and behind him where men who wanted his head. Left with nothing else, he stepped forth and crossed the boundary of the living and the dead. Henceforth, his fate was forever changed. No longer just a scholar, but something more…
